cityscape, Monday

If I looked one way from my hotel room balcony, I could see the Coronado Bridge and (if I squinted), I could make out the iconic towers at the Hotel Del Coronado. And looking the other way gave me this nice urban scene.

That balcony was just about the best part of the trip.

red chairs

The afternoon sun, made more reflective by the nearby harbor, made the red chairs glow.

painter

I watched this guy for a while – he was busy painting the stripes on the street and parking lot along North Harbor Drive. I imagine that he was getting ready for summer tourist season. Finally.

the gull

A man. A Segway. A seagull.

That can be the setup for a really stupid joke, or the setup for this photograph.

bounced light: hotel room

The very nice front desk person at the hotel hooked me up with a balcony room, and I slept with the door open every night. One night, I had dozed off and when I woke up I saw this lovely scene. I made a photo then went back to sleep.

My sleeps were delightful from this room – with cool ocean breezes, the sound of the fountain in the courtyard, clanging of passing boats. The first night back home, though, my brain was like, “Uh…nope. None of us are gonna sleep tonight. At least not until we get an ocean breeze.” (There are shockingly few ocean breezes here in Lubbock, so my brain and I had a restless night. Stupid brain.)
